Low Chicago by George R. R. Martin A Wild Cards Novel

Not all the pieces hang together, and some are better than others, but the authors do a respectable job overall of tangling with the ineffable. Is it sci-fi? A viral thriller? Yes and no, and while not for every taste, a pleasure for the experimentally minded.
